Legal Question in Employment Law in California

A verbal aggreement was made to make me partner of a business in three months time and give me twenty percent of one business and five percent of another the percentages were to start immediately. I also worked for what he called sweat equity to the tune of about 8000 dollars well I never recieved any of my percentage and he layed me off after putting off signing the partnership paperwork but still kept my Sweat equity as well as running up a believe it or not 20,000 dollar pg&e bill in my name for his property that I do not reside at nor have anything to do with, I had put it in my name in the first place as a favor partly but also I felt I would be risking my job when he asked if I didn't say yes. Please help me? How long do I have to do something about this and do I have a case?

A verbal partnership agreement is valid and enforceable. You need to file a dissolution of partnership action and demand an accounting. You will get your share of the profits and he will get his share of the power bill. This office can draft the complaint on your behalf or provide full representation so as to make it affordable for you. Contact me directly.
